GAS, electric and water are all to increase massively. It is coming to something when utilities like these which are essential to our very existence are ending up as a luxury commodity.
How on earth are people on low incomes and some pensioners going to pay their bills? With the increase of these utilities no doubt it will have a knock-on effect on other things e.g. the price of food another non-luxury one needs to exist.
The government talks about a decent rise in state pensions (in my opinion it should be £100 per week). Let's hope it is not just talk! I find that today we live in a materialistic and greedy world.
